Similar is not good enough.  We need to know 
exactly what you put in.

I notice you are using a debug parameter (-v).
Where did you get that?  Is it giving you output?

Are you sure your target is /dev/hda1 ?
It appears that your current partition 
(bootable DOS) is /dev/hda1.

So that's what boots first?  in DOS?  
Unless your system is unusual, that's probably
/dev/hda1.  Your loadlin target partition (root=)
will be somewhere else.  /dev/hdb1 ?  /dev/hdc1 ?

That's what happens when there is no target partition
(root=) or there's a syntax error in the loadlin line.
That's why we need to see exactly what you put in.

Cheers,
